Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 24:Allison ended the call and leaned back in her seat, finally wrapping up the loose ends in the villa.

As her hand cradled her head, preparing for a short rest, the screen of her phone lit up with a new message.

She unlocked the phone and saw that it was from Emanuel Welsh.

Allison, how am I going to survive without you When will you come back to Athton to visit me? .

A crying cat emoji followed, completing his dramatic plea.

A smile spread across Allison's face.

Keanu was always serious and stoic, while Emanuel had the energy of someone half his age.

He was always up to date with the latest fashions and trends.

Everything that young people adored, Emanuel embraced without hesitation.

Before Allison could even think of a response, her phone began to vibrate wildly as Emanuel called her directly.

Allison! You have abandoned this poor old man, rotting in a lonely and quiet city.

Three years have passed and you always dodge my invitations with your 'busy, busy, busy' excuses.

I've been wasting away! You don't even know how many people take advantage of me now that you're not around to keep them in line.

Allison instinctively moved the phone away from her ear, letting Emanuel's rant reach its dramatic crescendo before returning it to her ear.

If anyone took advantage of others, it was him.

But despite all his complaints, Emanuel was like a naughty child: he loved pranks and attention.

Come on, Emanuel, who dares to mess with you? They don't know you have a legion of students and apprentices spread all over the world They would be petrified imagining that someone was coming after them with a sculpting knife.

Emanuel snorted, more irritated than really annoyed.
